New member: 2025 Tahoe High Country

[tyet]

I'd like to know this too as I'm getting the same upgrade. But not super worried about it... I know they will go at least 50K plus....

True. I wish they offered them in black, not everyone wants red. I may have to powder coat them black

There is no effect on warranty if you go with the Carbyte option.

Thanks, I'll see if theirs supports the 2025 model yet. Also, doesn't disabling the afm/dfm put more stress on the transmission as the transmission thinks it's at higher load. I read about people experiencing rough shifting over time.

I can’t answer that, however, someone in this thread might be able to. https://www.tahoeyukonforum.com/threads/dfm-disabler-released.150279/

Started blacking it out, next up will be replacing all the chrome window trim and roof rails with the black oem parts from the RST.

Looks awesome! Have you replaced the window trim and roof rails yet? Any advice removing them? If I understand correctly, you have to drop the whole roof liner to get to the mounting hardware. And on the window trim, the lower pieces look to be held in with a few screws, but the vertical trim piece has plastic retainers that look like will have to break to remove?

I plan to do the same mods when I get my High Country in a few months.

When I get my Denali ultimate in May or June I plan on removing all the chrome window trim and replacing it with black from the AT 4.. I will probably just put black film on the roof rails, not worth tearing them apart. I really would like to see an ultimate up close to see what to see what trim I could live with and what I can't. Don't really want any chrome..

I purchased all the oem parts, awaiting scheduling at my body shop for the install.

Black RST roof rails, window trims, and door handles installed. Replacing the roof rails did require dropping
the headliner. Next up is replacing the front grill and chrome bumper fascia trims to all black (again from the RST).

In case this is helpful to anyone, here are the part numbers for the oem black parts. This will black out every single chrome thing on the vehicle. Depending on where you get parts from, you are looking at around $2000 in parts (the grill is the most expensive at $511)

Where did you get those black accents? Is that from the dealer?

Started blacking it out, next up will be replacing all the chrome window trim and roof rails with the black oem parts from the RST. Will also be going with either 24 or 26" wheels and keeping the stock's for winter tires.

See my post above, as i just listed all the part numbers. i removed all the oem chrome parts and replaced them with the oem black parts from the RST. The bow ties i had custom painted. All the black badges are oem from dealer as well.

Curious on your chrome delete progress? Were you able to locate OEM window trim? Also what chrome did you delete on your grille?

Should be getting my ‘25 HC soon and will be going through the same chrome delete process.

Disregard… I see you posted previously

I’m using a genuine GM parts dealer site, did you have an issue with the site saying the parts don’t/didn’t fit your vehicle?

Hey tyet. Just wanted to shout you for the assist on the parts list for the chrome delete. Just got her back after several wks in the shop getting the mods installed.

Bow tie puddle lights

Anyone in this thread able to share minor annoyances or grievances about the vehicle after living with it?

I’m considering purchasing and have seen enough fluff reviews on YouTube. I want to know real owners thoughts from their day to day experiences

 

[BacDoc]

That Lakeshore Blue with the custom touches looks awesome!

I have had my 2024 High Country for over a year and I love it! Exceeded my expectations and my only complaint is the stock brakes. They work, but considering the rest of the top notch components and beautiful ride of this vehicle the brake system is the weak link. The performance brake system available through GM is the only thing I think this Tahoe needs, besides the performance exhaust! But my wife is definitely not in favor of that lol
